What a weekend

Hello out there...
Well...it's going to be Halloween later today and Ty will be a skunk, but I don't think we are going anywhere, but if people stop by, we will have a little trick-or-treater waiting for them. He had a good weekend. Thursday night mommy went out to the Cactus for the 2nd time since having Ty to visit with our friends Joe and Lynda who drove down from Michigan. (Picture already of them)

Then Friday we went to dinner at Mt. Fuji with the Wastl's. Saturday was another Boiler loss to Penn St. and Binko's wedding. It was Ty's first wedding and he was such a good little boy. I don't think he liked the pipe organ too well...but who really likes pipe organs anyway? They are really loud and they don't rock like most instruments. But Ty was a hit at the Church and then daddy went to work, while mommy took care of him.

Sunday was Pastor Don's last day as the Churchs' minister and mommy and Ty went to hear his last sermon. After a day at Church, grandparents and great grandparents, Mommy and Ty came home to daddy. I was in the middle of a poker game and watching NFL....very relaxing for daddy.

So...not really a whole lot of activity, but still a lot of fun and new people meeting Ty. He's really starting to grab and hold things now. Sitting up on his own a lot better and rolling to his side at will practically. Still a lot of things to work on though. We need to learn how to break up a double play and look the runner back before delivering the pitch...but other than those, he is right on schedule. Hope you all had a great weekend.

PS...the pictures are mommy and Ty with grandpa and great grandma...four generations. The other one is Ty looking at the water duck toy...it's one of his favorites.

Three months old and counting

On Saturday Oct. 22, Ty turned 3 months old. I had to work, of course, but that's a given for it was a weekend night. We started out playing all by ourselves while mommy slept. I went to bed about 7 AM and mommy took over. Ty was all smiles like he usually is, so you don't even realize that you are beyond tired. It was such a great morning with just the boys hanging out and watching sportscenter. Ty loves tv...much like daddy, so we caught up on college football and the baseball playoffs. What a dude...happy birthday baby boy. We love you.

What a week in Michigan!!

Hey there guys,
We took off for Michigan last Sunday and we were unsure how Ty would do on a pretty long trip. It was almost 3 hours of driving, but he slept the whole time! What a great surprise. The only thing was that kind of messed up his sleep pattern for the week. Maybe he just wasn't used to the change or maybe it was all the sleep he got on Sunday at the start, but he had several restless nights. But all in all, he was great and a hit with total strangers who passes us by.

We had dinner with our friends up there Sunday night. They are Joe and Lynda, the owners of the place we stayed at in Saugatuck, MI. They have known us since Sabrina and I started dating and we love there cottage on the Kalamazoo river. If you like what you see in the pictures, let us know and we will give you the info on how you can stay there too. Saugatuck is a really cute little artsy town, but we lucked out and it was peak fall colors up there, so that was an added bonus.

I did sneak in a little golf with our other friend Jeff Wells, a local asst. pro. He has set me up with some really good golf courses and the prices have been right on with what I like!!!.....of course, free!!! Best kind of golf.

But most of the time it was just family time, driving, shopping, eating and just relaxing. Bre and I were in the hot tub the last night and a momma deer and her yearling came into view from the valley below our cottage and we just watched them for 30 minutes. That was really cool. Bre did a little homework for dance and I tried how to figure out the satalite tv which I think I did correctly, but still couldn't get ESPN. That was my only gripe...no Sunday night football and no Main Event Poker...damn. But the weather was Heavenly and the colors were fantastic. Oh...and I did take Bre and Ty to a bowling alley during a half hour rain storm where we bowled three games and I got an all-time high score of 224!! My old high was 204 so I was really bringing it. I may never see that number again, but at least I did it once!!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pictures and we'll try to post more soon.
Thanks,
Bruce

PS...the pictures are Joe and Lynda, the owners of our cottage, the view one morning with fog burning away, and the last one is us at Oval Beach in Saugatuck, MI.

little scare

I got a voicemail from Bre saying she thought Ty was getting sick for the first time and that made me rush home from work and try to help out. He was better than when she called and I was relieved. He's resting pretty good, just a little restless. What a guy. It's great to just watch him and check on him, but it's nerve racking. You just never want to let him out of your sight. It's always in the back of your mind. The "what if" factor. Luckily, Sabrina and I have an opportunity to take care of our Angel in shifts. Most people don't have that luxury. We are truly blessed.

We are taking him to Michigan on Sunday for his first out of state trip. 3 hours in the truck should be interesting. I think all will go well though. Can't wait for a little alone time with Mommy and baby....doing nothing if we want. Should be very relaxing. Might not be a blog for a while though with the trip and all. God Speed and Ami...I am thinking of you and all that's on your shoulders right now. You are great and doing a wonderful think for those two kids.

Now I am trying to catch up

Since he's already almost 3 months old, I have a lot of catching up to do. I hope that I do this right. I have some big news. I saw him roll over this past Tuesday (Oct.11th) That was pretty cool. We were all at my best friend Bea's house just chilling. It happened at 7:25 PM, and it was the first time for me seeing it. Sabrina had seen him do it twice before. Then the very next night, Oct. 12th, he did it again. What a strong little boy.

First Day Ever Blogging

Hey there folks,
I don't know much about this, but I thought I would try. Just wanted to have something to show the world my baby boy and how much he means the world to his mom and dad. I hope I can post pictures and stuff, but I really don't know anything about this stuff.

Well...with me luck.

Bruce

PS...this is Sabrina on our due date...Ty arrived 11 days later!!
